Two former Parramatta Eels players are accused of harbouring semi-automatic weapons and possessing more than half-a-million dollars in cash after dramatic arrests in Sydney's Centennial Park yesterday.

It's become a war cry for New South Wales fans after yet another crushing Origin series defeat.

Almost a week on from Queensland's demolition job at Suncorp Stadium, the recriminations are flying thick and fast.

Today the so-called "booze brothers" - Blake Ferguson and Josh Dugan - were being lined up and shot amid claims that on a day off five days before Origin, the pair drove 80 kilometres from team headquarters for an eight-hour drinking binge at local pub.

Ferguson and Dugan had form. In 2013, they hung themselves out to dry after posting a rooftop selfie drinking when they should have been training with the Canberra Raiders.

So today, it seemed they were as guilty as charged.

But one simple phone call this morning suggested that the drinking session may have actually been relaxed catch-up with friends over a few beers and a meet-and-greet with locals.
